Transferring Images on Furniture + Video Tutorial

Hideeho Friends! Images on furniture are such a fun, easy,inexpensive, and fully customizable way to make your piece totally unique! Last week I did a Facebook Live (you can find the video here) on the finishing touches to applying a large image transfer onto this dresser.

Although I LOVE the finish on this piece I wanted it to be even more unique!

Plain, conservative pieces are not in my vocabulary.

I found this image via GOOGLE, but The Graphics Fairy is an excellent resource for vintage images as well! The key to success transferring images is to make sure you print your image out backwards. You will be applying it image side down and then peeling the paper backing off. This will ensure your image is readable once you are done!

Trust me on this.

Not like I am speaking from personal experience or anything. (ahem…)

Cut your image out if necessary.

Here is where the magic happens.

On MTV Cribs they would normally refer to the place where the magic happens as the bedroom.

Once you apply the image to your dresser make sure you allow the 1Gel to dry overnight.

Waiting might be the hardest part of the entire process!

If you are completely confused at this point in the tutorial or are more of a visual person I documented the entire process in this video tutorial. I would love it if you hopped on over to my YouTube Channel and subscribed!

Oh Allison, that music in the background made it so difficult to hear you on your YouTube video. Please keep that in mind as you tape more tuts. Love this idea and will surely try it on something. Thanks so much for sharing.
